Funny And Nice

The Dropkick Murphys are at the Residence of Blues supporting their new album, Going Out In Style, and Lenny Clarke is at Giggles tonight with Tony V supporting his new hair color. The Murphys tapped Clarke and his plunger, as properly as Micky Ward from The Fighter, Bobby Orr, Milan Lucic, and Shawn Thornton from the Bruins, Kevin Youkilis of the Red Sox, and NESN’s Heidi Watney for the video of the title track from the album. Clarke will be at Giggles tomorrow and Saturday, as properly.

Examine out the video:

Lenny Clarke:Thursday at 8PM with Tony V, Dave Russo, Graig Murphy, and Mark Riley. Friday and Saturday at 7:15PM and 9:30PM. With Artie Januario and Todd Kane. Giggles Comedy Club, at Prince’s Pizzeria, 517 Broadway (Route 1), Saugus, Ma. 781.233.9950

Tig Notaro’s album, Great A single, will not be out till August 2 on the indie rock label Secretly Canadian, but you can download a free of charge track from it beneath. I remember becoming impressed with Notaro many years ago when she first came to the Boston Comedy Festival, and have been content to see her get more exposure on late night Television and as a normal on The Sarah Silverman System. She also popped up on Community.

There will also be a deluxe version of the CD available with a DVD called Have Tig At Your Party, which is described in the press release as “the human equivalent to the ‘burning log’ DVDS.”

Notaro will kick off a US tour with the album’s release, and although there is nothing on the books, Notaro’s PR people inform me there is “a excellent chance” there will be a Boston date. Till then, click the link beneath and appreciate your totally free track, compliments of The Boston Comedy Blog.
